What He Will Miss

The funeral was over and as a new day dawned…
He was asked, “What will you miss most about him…now that he is gone?”

He did not answer right away…no…he thought on it a while…
as tears fell from his eyes and caught the corners of his smile.

And for a moment…a lovely moment…he felt lighter than the breeze…
as he floated on his tears through a sea of memories.

Then, with sorrow and joy harmonizing together in his tone…
“I will miss those moments that belonged to us.” He said.
“MomentS that were ours…and ours alone.”
